Single-car collisions: who can I sue?

As designated driver, Brian had to share his friends' toast with a glass of soda. Nevertheless, when the car took a tight curve, it skidded out of control and hit a privately-owned retaining wall. It turned out the company that owned the land adjacent to the road had improperly maintained the wall, and with the early March thaw, water had leaked out of a crevice, then frozen into a thin, smooth patch of black ice. Brian did the responsible thing in abstaining from alcohol. The men in the car had the right to sue the company for their injuries and vehicular damage.
